Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, His Life,
His Works, and His Friendships, by Mrs.
George Lowell Austin, published by Lee &
Shepard. Boston. MIR. Longfellow suggested
this work and it was begun under his personal
direction, the facts and incidents being taken
from his lips. Many valuable suggestions
were afterward added by Mr. John Owen,
Longfellow's life long friend. As a biography
OF the poets literary life, without history of
the details of his personal and private life,
the book is TO be considered authentic Its
value is shown by the demand for this new
edition.
Jack the Fisherman, by Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps, published by Houghton, Mifflln &
Co., Boston This is a temperance story of
which Miss Francis E. Willard kindly says.
Jack the Fisherman seems to me the strong
est temperance story of our time. Into it
are woven with mastery skill the elements
of the modern temperance reform, namely,
true Christianity, the need for righteous laws,
the necessity of woman's cooperation, and,
as a background, we have the awful curse
and warning of transmitted evil under the
law of heredity," all of which we strongly
endorse.
Modern Cities and their Religious Prob
lens by Samuel Lane LOOMS, published by
Baker & Taylor Company, New York The
work is an able and timely discussion of
grave problems in a manner that renders the
book valuable. ltembraces lectures delivered
10 the students of Andover Theological Semi
nary and also lecture before the students of
Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, the
object being to prepare the way for the
adoption of more earnest and systematic e1-
forts looking to the advancement of the
! Rpjapmor's kipu1nnr the OF
the great towns. 1t deserves to be carefully
pondered.
Jack Hall. or The School-days of an Amer
lean Boy, by Robert Grant, published by
Jordan. Marsh & Co., Boston. This little
| book is not what the title would lead some to
believe. Beside being story of as wide
awake and mischievous a boy as ever lived it
is also a treatise upon the management of
such boys. and can be read with profit not
only BY youth, but also by all those who in
any way are charged with the guidance and
education of boys.
Biographical of the Life of John F. Deane
by Llewellyn Desne, published by same for
private use. The greater part of the earlier
public life of Mr.. Desne was spent in the
State of Maine. He was prominent in Han
COCK County Ms lawyer, was ueteSdlS "
the General Court of Massachusetts until
Maine became State, and then served his
new State in her legislature. He was ident-
fed in some of the most important events of
his time, and his life is naturally history of
that portion of the history of the State of
Maine.
Life Notes Of Fifty Years Outlook, by
William Hague, published by Lee Shepard.
Boston. This work is one that is of special
interest to all members of the Baptist denom-
nation of which the writer was prominent
Clergyman, occupying in his day important
pulpits. His personal "reminiscences involve
many illusions to persons and matters in
connection with his work. which are very in
structive. One of its principal features is
the discussion of and the answering of the
doctrines of Theodore Parker.
